Biden Cancels Trip as Brush Fires Explode Across Southern California

20 hours ago 3

President Joe Biden on Tuesday canceled a trip to California's Eastern Coachella Valley due to dangerously high winds that have raised the risk of wildfires in the area.

A windstorm that forecasters have described as life-threatening has caused brush fires to erupt across Los Angeles.

Biden was scheduled to appear at an event announcing the creation of two new national monuments that will honor Native American tribes.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.
